I find it hard to believe ARR does not know how his songs will be used in films. I mean certain directors are reputed for not using entire songs in movies. That's why I find it hard to believe that ARR is so upset about it. A song used as background music, even in its entirety, will not carry well with audiences anyway, because the full focus is not on the song.
The reason ARR likes doing movies with the likes of Benegal must be because the stories are good and have some character to them, which opens up so many possibilities. And period movies give him the chance to compose melodies unlike more formulaic movies. He probably should not do too many period movies at one time, and try mis it up a little bit. I don't think he should give up on period movies because some of his best music have been inspired by period drama.
Just my 2 cents.
